Spring Break Fun @ Your Library
Most of the frugal among us already know the Wichita Public Library is a great cheap resource, but sometimes we forget (I do). Starting Saturday, the library will have plenty of free activities for the kids when they’re out of school for Spring Break. (And who knows, mom and dad might even get a few spare minutes to browse the New Titles shelves.) This is just a sampling of some of what they have planned.
Note: Although there isn’t a charge for most (any?) of these activities, some do require that you call and register first. For full details, please see the Wichita Public Library Events Calendar.
